Meaning ‘to revive the taste’ in French, this spicy chickpea ragu will revive you after a long day while reviving your palate with beautiful flavours. Silky onion, carrot & a special UCOOK spice mix elevate a rich tomato passata sauce. The hake and golden chickpeas are cooked to perfection before being plated on a bed of bulgur and garnished with a dill-yoghurt drizzle.

Chickpeas
